Graduate Student: Inelastic Neutron Scattering & DFT Course Prerequisites

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the prerequisites for a graduate project involving Inelastic Neutron Scattering (INS) and Density Functional Theory (DFT). Key background knowledge includes courses in quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, and statistical mechanics. The participant is encouraged to consider research topics related to theoretical studies of neutron scattering, particularly at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble, France, known for its advanced neutron research facilities.

PREREQUISITES
  • Quantum Mechanics
  • Solid-State Physics
  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Density Functional Theory (DFT)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Inelastic Neutron Scattering techniques and applications
  • Explore advanced topics in Density Functional Theory
  • Investigate the research opportunities at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL)
  • Study the theoretical frameworks of neutron scattering experiments
USEFUL FOR

Graduate students in physics, researchers in neutron scattering, and anyone interested in theoretical studies involving Inelastic Neutron Scattering and Density Functional Theory.

I am a graduate student and I am thinking of doing a project on "Inelastic neutron scattering and density functional theory".
Can you please inform me what are the exact background knowledge(courses) I should have to.

I am thinking to do a project on theoretical study of Neutron Scattering.But I cannot decide a particular topic.
Please refer me with some topic names.
 
You should try to work at the ILL in Grenoble, France. It is an amazing place if you are interested in neutrons.
